Point Pinos Lighthouse


Oldest working lighthouse in the West
Lighthouse Ave
Monterey and Carmel, CA 93950
United States
+1 831 648 5716
This lighthouse, located in Monterey County, has been operating since 1855, making it the oldest operating one on the West Coast. Aside from its rich history, it offers spectacular views from its vantage point. The trek to get there is lovely, too, and well worth the huffing and puffing that some may experience if they are a little out of shape. While you are in the charming and beautiful town of Pacific Grove, visit the Museum of Natural History.
